Blood/muscle Contrast in Regular and Compensated Phantom Images
| Segments | N = 4 | N = 8 | N = 16 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | 2.56 | 2.77 | 3.07 |
| Compensated | 3.70 | 3.77 | 3.85 |
| % improvement | 44.9% | 36.1% | 25.5% |
Blood/muscle contrast in regular and compensated numerical phantom images, measured in a blood vessel (2 mm in diameter) for number of k-space segments (N) = 4, 8, and 16. As expected, the acquisition with the steepest magnetization decay over k-space (i.e., N = 4) benefits the most from signal compensation.
